A modern retelling of "Lord of the Flies" by William Golding. Imagine if, instead of a group of British schoolboys, a bunch of girls were stranded on the island. One would expect them to be organized. To conduct themselves in a well-mannered way. Never mind that they are on an island: these are girls, and girls are sweet; innocent, even. They would never be able to harm a soul. Never resort to hunting down one of their fellow companions. They're just not capable. Right? [COMPLETED]

Harper isn't like the other humans, and in her world, a world where vampires are dominant, that's a bad thing. She lives with her family in the vamp's human compounds, exchanging their blood for safety from the zombies outside, and there's never been a problem. She's always passed as normal. But something in Harper is changing. Now, her safety is in jeopardy, but to escape would be much more dangerous. Still, it may be her best bet at survival, because it's not safe inside for her anymore...

[Original] Simon, a nerdy, agoraphobic wolf-shifter falls in love with a human named Annabelle who's more interested in her new employer at a local gothic boutique, James--a man who claims to be a made vampire. Even with all the weird happenings and strange unexplainable physical appearances of James's friends, it's only a spoof... right? At least, that's what Annabelle made herself believe until she participated in said spoof, choosing to experience the shift of a werewolf for Halloween. Seeing is believing. ::Warning:: This story is aimed at making fun of clichés and in some cases the cliché is purposely pushed over board. This is intentional. Eye-rolling will ensue. While it will continue to over embellish the clichés there is still an original plot... at least I think so. Hope you all enjoy. Updates? Will not happen anymore in this draft. To get new content you must read the 3rd draft. That beautiful cover was done by xXArachnidXx (http://www.wattpad.com/user/xXArachnidXx). This is the second cover done by by xXArachnidXx. Thanks so much!
